How many games do we give him?
100? 150? By the time he gets that far he'll have to retire.
He's been on an afl list for 7 years now. He weighed in close to 100kg when he was drafted. He's been a monster who couldn't kick since day 1. Now he's lost his puppy fat, got some definition and improved his tank....but he still can't kick.
Big blokes take longer, sure, if they haven't got it after 7 years, they ain't going to get it.
I'm not saying drop him, never to return. I'm saying plan for the future without him ASAP. He isn't good enough to be relied upon and the sooner we find a replacement the better off we'll be.
Our match committee thinks otherwise and I tend to go along with their thinking when it comes to whether players are good enough
The Hun did a piece on this year's best and worst set shots. Casboult didn't make the best ten but he didn't make the worst ten either. That honour went to Stringer, McCarthy, Fasolo, Franklin, Castagna, Hipwood, Lynch, Darling, Daniher and Moore. I wouldn't mind any of that lot in Navy Blue.
